While Californians passed a ballot measure to bring back bilingual education in the upcoming school year, educators say a challenge to getting the programs started will be getting more bilingual teachers.

One of several bipartisan groups of lawmakers assigned various facets of state government, these lawmakers sought to gain additional information regarding budget requests, expenditures in programs and projects as well as review their results in education, including student retention, remedial studies and graduation. With the state strapped for funds, the Legislature wanted accountability from each agency of their budgets and the dollars spent, which makes this one of Mississippi's biggest stories for 2016.
